Bruno Mars/Damian Marley Team-Up (Video)

By now, most of you are probably familiar with Bruno Mars - The singer/songwriter responsible for penning recent Pop hits like "Nothin' On You,""Billionaire," and "F*ck You." Following this string of successful [featured] singles, Mars released an EP, It's Better If You Don't Understand, which was then followed by Doo-Wops & Hooligans (a full-length LP). "Liquor Store Blues," previously released in 2010 as a "Promotional Single" [sans video], is the latest album track to get the visual treatment. It was preceded by other Smeezingtons-produced singles: "Just the Way You Are," "Grenade," and "The Lazy Song(?)." But back to "Liquor Store Blues" -- It features a Reggae-tinged backing track and the vocal stylings of Bob Marley's youngest son, Damian "Jr. Gong."While I haven't heard all of the album's 10 tracks, this one seems to [instantly] be the catchiest and most original piece. Bruno Mars, Mayer Hawthorne & The County, and Janelle Monáe are currently on the "Hooligans In Wonderland" [Nation-wide] Tour... with dates running through June.

About Me

Greetings, people of the world... Matt Horowitz aka "The Witzard" here. I'm a 30-year-old college grad hailing from South Jersey. After receiving degrees in both Journalism and Business Management, I started this very blog around 2010 in an effort to share my vast knowledge of Pop Culture to help sharpen my writing chops. I thoroughly enjoy all things Pop Culture and some of my favorite genres include Punk, Hip-Hop, Indie Rock, etc. But I'll practically listen to anything once. I'm also an avid record collector and honestly, almost anything sounds better on wax! Thank you kindly for listening... Your support is much appreciated! Peace & love. sharpcheddar856@gmail.com
